ArdWrknTrk Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Good idea! I actually tried that as well. No dice so far, but maybe I'll look for other tools that do the same thing. I sent a message to Fey/Westin asking "what bumper will fit my truck that is around 61 inches wide?" and they said "Can't help you, sorry. We don't make anything for Flaresides." Guess I'll need to buy what I like and figure out how to mount it through some "custom" method. I remember when a Fey (argent) bumper was $100 for the Bullnose trucks and $125 for chrome with the plastic tread! I suppose I'm old.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I suppose I'm old.... Not nearly as old as some. Our favourite carb/ignition specialist notched up another year two days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you can ever notch down another year! 🤣 Ive known women who will never admit to a day over 29, although they're senior to me I honestly don't care at all, as long as I don't have to suffer in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Reminds me of the old Toyota pickup and 4Runner factory step bumpers with the black plastic caps on the ends. There were so many companies making aftermarket bumpers back them...some of them were difficult to find 20 years ago let alone today. Good luck!

Good call Cory, that brings back some memories of seeing those! I'm not expecting the stumble upon the original bumper as I remember it at this point (although that would be amazing). I'd just like to find something that is similar in style and size. I think the best path I have is to find a bumper for a smaller truck like a Ranger, S-10 (yuck, haha) or similar, and see about getting custom brackets made from there. I would swear the current bumper is the Fey one I mentioned above, but I emailed their support dept and they wouldn't answer either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a name consumed by a beast that churns for profit. I had a '77 Datsun pickup I bet that skinny bumper would be perfect. There's a Canadian YouTube channel that has done a playlist of metal finishing a similar truck 💡 Fitzees Fabrications. (sp?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
